A CIScINSAr1 phrenologist, Prof. Edgar

1t further appears from the bumps that
John Sullivan Is not aggressive by nature,

Mysterious Death Of Nurse.
or all the weird stories which have been
told OF the siege OF Atlanta, says the Consti-
tuition, one OF the most tragic and sensational
has never been seen in print
1t was when General Sherman was playing
hide and seek with the army OF General Joe
Johnston, on the way from Chsttap ooga, that
woman OF ravishing beauty made her ap-
pearance in Atlanta. Where she came from
no one knew of her people she never spoke;
but it was surmised by some Of the ladies
who had gotten near her that she bore some
secret sorrow-peIhsps the sacrifice OF
some loved one on the bloody fields OF
Virginia.
Day by day train loads of wounded Con-
federates reached Atlanta from the front
The ladies of the city engaged in hospital
work with q Zsal worthy the sisters and
wives OF brave men. Zsalous a. all were in
this work, Miss Emma, which WAS the only
name by which she was generally known,
became noted because OF her endurance and
fidelity. As she passed from ward to ward
the dying men would turn their eyes smil.
iug!y toward her. She WAS indeed the angel
OF the hospital.
Notwithstanding sll this the eye OF suspic.
ion fell upon her. Was she Q spy? The
question would have been laughed st by
most people, and yet there were those who
detected in her manner something which
they did not like. But this suspicion was
hushed by the uniformly philsnthropic
work In which Miss Emma was engaged. n
At last Shermsn's lines were drawn around
the city, and the people began to experience
all the horrors OF siege. The sick and dy.

The Weakly Intelngenoer
Ok cai1aSter Jttteli9ettfer.
LANCASTER, APRIL q. 1887.
The South Penn.


Ths Pittsburg stockholders in the South
Henngylvanis railroad protest against the
passage of the bill allowing that road to be
dlmembered, and say that its purpose is to
enable the Pennsylvania railroad to get
possession Of the eastern end, from Mt.
Dallas, Bedford county; which it could
utilize, and which would further enable it
10 throttle the project of competing
through line to the West.
No doubt the object of the bill is some
thing Of this kind, and it would put stop
10 the possibility of another competing
through line to Pittsburg from the East.
But the prospect Of the construction
OF this line seems to be made quite doubt
full by the treaty Of amity that has taken
place between the Pennsylvania and Read
ing railroad managers. We believe that
the South Penn has traffic agreement of
oome sort with the Reading, but it will not
bs Of great practical value in the face Of
IN inimical control of the Reading COM
plny. It is true that the state constitu.
tion should give it protection in obtaining
m eastern outlet to its completed line to
Harrisburg, but it is equally true that
just now the railroads are stronger than
the constitution and are able to defeat its
effort to secure free interchange of traffic.
Some day there will be different state of
things and railroad need not extend its
line to the ocean,. the lakes or a great
competing point, to get fair share of
business.
Railroad ,nopo 0ooapf 10 l., n <ro,s;t;or
state, and has passed from the unre
strained control of its officers, under the
restraint Of the law and national railroad
commission hsS5prung into being to con.
5fol traflc; when things settle down to
their proper condition Pittsburg may build
it, line tO Harrisburg with an assurance
that the roads it meets there must take and
give it the traffic that belongs to it. The
Baltimore Il Ohio will be able to get its
freight cars from Philadelphia to New
loIk, without building line of its own !;
and railroad building will be promoted by
the assurance that a road cannot be bottled
up by its rivals.
At present no short railroad can be built
In competition with the great railroads
existing. Lancaster would long ago have
had local railroad through the rich coun-
try to the east, but for the obvious fact
that when built it would meet the compe-
tition of the Pennsylvania railroad, which
would carry for nothing by the roundabout
route from New Holland, to starve out its
little rival. The need of the day is heavy
public boot, always ready to be swung at
the coat tails Of the railroad director. And
the commission boot is likely in the end to
have the needed vigor.

nial census, and ~ Is The duty
undoubtedly Of the fist assembly
meeting thereafter. Whether, when this
duty is not performed BY that legislature, II
becomes the duty Of every legislature,
until done, ID An interesting question
Probably It may he decided to be con.
tinuing legislative duty, from the necessity
Of the case.
The question raised as to the constitu'
tionality of the apportionment in Lycoming
county is based upon the fact that lycom-
ing has less than 100000 population, and
its city Of Williamsport has less popula-
ton than entities 1t to separate represen-
tation; part of the county was tackled on to
the city to make up its deficiency. Tie
constitution provides that counties OF
100000 population shall I've divided
into separate districts, and cities containing
enough people for representative quota
shall be erected into a separate district. If
the Wiliamsport district, is lawfully made,
then every county may be divided into
separate representative districts upon the
theory that while the constitution declares
the. separate districts that shall he made, it
does say that others may not be made but
this does not seem to be sound view.

The New Talk OF War.

Europe is again disturbed with talk of
war. A couple Of months ago there was
general opinion that the nations there
would be in the throes of war as soon as
the armies could move in the spring. After
the German election, however, there came
. calm and it seemed that Bismarck did
mot seek war and that France was not
ready for it. 1t has come to be felt that
when Germany does not want war there
will he none and that when she does, she
viii speedily find pretext for it. There is,
therefore, no profit in looking to see
whether there is a cause for war the
whole matter depending upon the
disposition of the rulers.
The French people have been burning
for years to ayenge their defeat by Ger
many, but the French rulers are not be.
lieved to be anxious for it. They have little
to gain and much to lose by war. The
people, again defeated, would hold their
governors responsible, and a new form
OF government would be likely to take
possession of the defeated republic. Seem.
inaly the danger of war rests upon the
ability of the French rulers to
restrain French sentiment, which is no.
tably hard to hold. There il no good
reason to believe that Germany intended
In its late seizure of French official
TO furnish a cause for war. But the Incl.
dent has fallen upon such an excited state
OF feeling in France that war NAV posi-.
bly, result. We will not be in hurry to
q believe in its early coming after our re.
peated disappointments. There has been
enough talk in the last year.to provide

xeom England down to Turkey; but
talk II not the provocation of war
Engiand does not hunger for it; nor Tur
k1V. Russia is not in condition for it; and
hardly France. Austria does not seek it
and about Germany nobody knows. 1t i.
eloar enough that she will not seek it il sht
dnee not think that France is preparing Il
sone day contest with her the possession
oe Alsace and Lorraine. As this is tn.
general belief, it may be that Germany viii
sonsider it prudent to hasten the inevitable
contest, and meet the issue when abe ID

Upon the temper therefore of the French
z roopas and the policy Of the German gov.
tEnmsnt seems to hang the issue.
